Sight words are essential for early readers to recognize quickly and read fluently. Sets 4, 5, and 6 add more words to a child’s vocabulary and require a new set of strategies to teach. To help your students learn to read sight words, here are some fun and easy-to-use activities for you to try.

Sight Word Scavenger Hunt

Create a list of sight words from sets 4, 5, and 6 and hide them around the room. Instruct your students to find them and read them out loud. This activity encourages students to recognize sight words in different contexts and builds their confidence in reading fluently.

Sight Word Bingo

Bingo is a timeless game that can also be used to teach sight words. Print out sets of bingo cards for each of your students and call out words from sets 4, 5, and 6. Once a student has a row completed, have them read the words back to you for a fun and interactive way to practice.

Sight Word Memory

Create matching cards of sight words from sets 4, 5, and 6 and lay them face down on a table. Each student takes turns flipping over two cards to see if they match. If they match, the student reads the word out loud to keep the cards. This game is fun and helps students practice memorizing sight words.

Sight Word Snap

Organize your students into small groups and give each group a set of flashcards with sight words from sets 4, 5, and 6. Instruct them to quickly read the word out loud and if two cards in the group match, anyone can yell “Snap!” to win the round. This helps students practice speedy reading and build their confidence in recognizing sight words.

Sight Word Go Fish

Print out two sets of sight word cards from sets 4, 5, and 6 and shuffle them. Each player starts with five cards and takes turns asking other players if they have a specific word. If the player does, they hand over the card. The objective is to match pairs of words, and the player with the most pairs at the end of the game wins. This game helps students recognize sight words and think critically about matching pairs.

In summary, teaching sight words from sets 4, 5, and 6 should be engaging and interactive for your students. These activities are perfect for practicing sight words in a fun and engaging way and can help lead to increased confidence in reading fluently. Try using these activities with your students to help them master sets 4, 5, and 6 sight words.
